Uh so...any thoughts?

We found three of these "trading figure game" cards in a bunch of bulk and I checked ebay out of curiosity. Seems like most of them were going for about 50-150 depending on the card, except someone has listed one of this x special specifically on eBay for 20,000 dollars?

I can't find any recently solds to see if that's anywhere near it's actually value or not. I'm not really convinced it is, so wanted to get some second opinions if anyone knows anything at all about these. I was just gonna put em in my binder cuz they look neat, but this bulk came from my sis, so if one actually is worth big cash I wanna let her know.

Thanks for any help!

Love this guy so much. Had to take a video because pictures can't really capture how much this card glitters.

I've got another copy that also has some bad holo bleed so I'm guessing it's common with this card/era? Or maybe it's meant to be this way and I never realized. 😅 Still...so shiny! So pretty!

Recently got back into collecting cards, but I'm broke so I decided to start a collection of damaged, well-loved and fake cards. Here are some of my favorites so far.

1st page: the bulletin board trio that I found in a parking lot many years ago

2nd page: creases and a very loved tynamo card with almost no structural integrity left

3rd page: damaged holos. The guy at our LCS lovingly described the ninetales specifically as "pringled" because it is bowing outwards. It's honestly my favorite of the bunch so far.

4th pic: FAKE! (Real on the right for comparison.) Purchased when I was a kid along with some other fake cards I no longer have sadly.

I've been having a blast looking through my childhood collection, going through bulk, and talking to the local card guys in search of these fellows. Can't wait to find more.
